Hi All

I have a new 16 36V Oset and im not sure about the batteries... On full charge they last for about 40 minutes to an hour then the light drops from 3 to 2 and the power reduces considerably.

My son rode it yesterday at trials practise and thats when we noticed the power drop after 40 minutes although he was riding in the wet mud. The same happened today but he was running mainly on tarmac hence the 60 minutes before drop out. I charged it up fully overnight last night and it seems to have lasted a bit longer, we will have another go tomorrow.

Is the sudden drop in power normal...?

Nick

Yep, this is normal for continuous use.
However, my 6yr old daughter (who is small for her age) can manage a full three hour trial before the battery runs out, but only just. And this depends on the distance between the sections and how many climbs there are.
